If I accuse my brother of committing a sin in his heart, and he denies it, and I continue to insist that he does (thereby insisting that I can see into his heart, and calling his testimony of what is in his heart a lie), am I acting in a way that "rejoices not over wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth"?
That is an issue--even a set of issues--that SHOULD be very fitting to dialogue about. The seeming RC dogma, tradition, habit, custom, to go ballistic at often even just hints that RC's and their edifice are less than perfect is a very discouraging frequent, common phenomenon hereon.
Hyperbole is fine with me--especially if fitting. Trumped up hyperbole over miniscule chaff seems greatly overdone. Well beyond wearing one's heart on one's sleeve etc.
There are aspects in all this furor that COULD be extremely instructive to all of us. But typically, the RC's demand that almost everything and everyone kowtow to their construction on reality or else suffer fierce condemnation from pontifical heights.
I do not resonate with your allegation of what I've done. I do not believe I've done that, at all.
I certainly do not rejoice over wrong doing. Had I rejoiced over wrong doing, I'd have gleefully with fangs and claws blazing chimed in on the thread immediately instead of prayerfully waiting 2-3 days or so to comment.
Even my fiercest satire was designed to highlight incongruencies in a system and NOT an assault on even the individuals in Chiapas, per se.
I've read repeated statements that ALL of us of my perspective or similar have ALWAYS done/responded with extremely dastardly things at EVERY opportunity re the RC's. That's simply wholesale not true.
I realize that I may be the only one in need of soul searching and may be the only one deeply engaged in such. In any case, God knows my heart beginning, middle and end.
